About

An old factory hall. A drummer sits on a moving plateau. Videos show women in fields, pushing cars from their mouths.  The audience moves away as an engine  roars and a car enters the space. Five dancers move out of it, dancing. Projections show a virtual world, which displays violent dream sequences that were built based on interviews with women. Female participants get to destroy the car once the men have left.

Artist Statement

"This show is based on a nightmare I had about a car full of men, chasing me through a deserted village towards some fields. It was astonishing to see how willingly female /FLINTA audience members grabbed the baseball bats to smash the cars we had for the shows.  I felt like other people may have had that exact same dream."
